It's a small world after all...

It started out with this photo which I included in a post not long ago, via Country Living. Shortly after, I received the nicest email from a lady named Annamarie saying, "I think that book is mine." To be honest, at first I was thinking who is this person claiming a magazine photo? But then, the story started unfolding and to my delight, I met the sweetest friend. All from one little picture.

Turns out, these belong to Annamarie too.

And this...

Wow. Her home was featured in Country Living, one of my favorite magazines. It gets better. She so graciously sent me her own photos of her home. I was like a kid in a candy store!

Welcome to Annamarie's cottage and gardens.

Annamarie has sent me so many gorgeous photos, too many to post at once. So I'm inviting you back next weekend for an inside tour.Not only does she collect all this pretty stuff, she sells it too! (Ebay seller name- bocarose) Boca Rose has been B-listed. Unfortunately, Annamarie doesn't have a blog but I think she should, don't you?

How amazing! I often marvel at the amazing people we meet through blogging! I know you were thrilled...I am thrilled that you have the photos to post! WOW! How great for all of us! I hope she'll consider a blog! I'm off to look at her shop! Hugs, my friend! You are the best! ♥

Hello my friend,Your first photo is so gorgeous~ and the next ones too.Oh how sweet of her to send you photos!!! It is an eye candy store for sure. She has such great style, I love her yard, gardens and porch, I can only imagine how lovely her interior is...can't wait for next weekend now!Love and hugs, Cindy

Oh my gosh! What a gorgeous home, and those gardens are stunning! I could live on that porch! I wish Annamarie could come to my house and decorate and garden for me! How nice that not only did she contact you, but shared so many wonderful photos, too! And yes, she most definitely start a blog:)

Oh my..I love the hydrangea, the little heart shaped rug, the china, the fabrics...everything! I found you at Pink Saturday, and I am following so that I am sure to see the pictures next weekend! Isn't blogland wonderful? So many new friends! Linda

I think she should definitely beyond a question of a doubt have a blog and I would sign up as a follower after her first post! Now how can we encourage her to create a blog of her own?????Be still my heart!! What a beautiful garden and I love her red mulch as it covers my tiny back yard too. But the porch is the porch of my dreams!! It is absolutely fabulous!!

Thanks so much for sharing and please let Anne Marie know that she SHOULD have a blog!!!!!

Oh my....I am in love with all the pictures you posted from Annamarie! I love the story of how you met her!! Thanks for sharing!I am participating in my first Pink Saturday!Looking forward to getting to know you!Rhonda :-)

Thank you for your sweet comments on my blog post...you never know what new friends you will find in blogland (as you found out)! What a sweet story, that started with a book... I am now "following"...

Oh my gosh! If I lived there I would never leave the house! What an amazing place she has. That is every girls dream home for sure! The porch is to die for and all her pretties in it! Thanks for sharing all this loveliness with us and yes she needs to have a blog! Wish I had the issue her home was featured. :(Happy Pink Saturday!Denise
